Bella Ciao is an Italian Restaurant loacted in Thiruvanmiyur next to the Beach.Its only open for dinner though.
The nice part about Bella Ciao is that it is in the open air.I’m more of a restaurant with walls around me and roof over my head kind of guy so I wasn’t expecting to like Bella ciao.
Surprise surprise.....it was really enjoyable.
Bella Ciao is more of a house whose garden is converted into the eating area.the garden is quite large and you sit on these quaint woodden chairs or stone couches and are seved on plain woodden tables.
The waiter is this well spoken European chap who jokes around with you whle he describes the specials for the day(He owns the place).He also has this really big furry dog that politely waits at the periphery for any titbits you might want to throw his way.
The reason I don’t like open air restaurants is that theyre normally dirty or noisy or both. However Bella ciao was clean, the waiters were friendly and the food was well prepared.Its nice to sit and talk and have your food while the air around you has a taste of the sea in it.
A very good way to spend an evening
